Re: Is math big or small?
#32A first-year physics teacher once told the class something that stuck with me (paraphrasing): "Nothing is big or small by itself. I want you to always follow these words with 'compared to ...'".
She: It's not that big. He: I think we can agree everything below the average between a Planck length and the size of the observable universe is objectively small, and everything above is objectively large. Using the geometric mean, that average is about 0.12 mm. Therefore my penis is actually large. She: I shouldn't have married a physicist.
> Using the geometric mean, that average is about 0.12 mm
That's... actually kinda cool to know.

#34If you run a statistical sample on modern maths books, it becomes clear that maths is usually about 6cm x 5cm.
